With
just one day remaining, Bangladesh still require 344 runs with 7
wickets in hand to pull off an unlikely victory. West Indies extended
their lead to 507 after Darren Bravo narrowly missed his double hundred.
Roach did not last long as the 4th
day started, holing out in the deep. Any chance of Bangladesh running
through West Indies vanished as soon as Chanderpaul entered the arena.
Darren Bravo was not having any trouble on a wicket which had gone
flatter and against a bowling which was toothless. Chanderpaul, after
having eyes settled, pushed the score along in a hurry.
He took Rubel on in an over getting three boundaries on both sides of the wicket. Bravo reached 150 on stroke of Lunch, which he celebrated after the break by thumping Nasir over long-off. Both marched on with declaration approaching, as Bangladesh fielders looked on in despair.
After hitting two lovely sixes, each of Shakib and Shuvo, he perished going for the 3rd to reach double hundred. His innings of 195 off 297 balls with 12 fours and 5 sixes was a masterpiece. With his departure, West Indies declared the innings on 383 for 5. Bangladesh were given an improbable target of 508 runs, a world record.
Tamim started positively, but after getting a life he settled down and looked to play the ball on merit. Imrul Kayes was given out in the slips off Fidel Edwards after several replays. After a few quiet overs, Tamim opened his chest and caressed Roach for three in one over. Sammy sent Nafees back to pavilion after accepting a return catch gleefully, as Tea was taken immediately.
Tamim was batting well but needed good support from the other end as Raqibul joined him. Tamim, after a period of sound defense, opened up again, hitting Bishoo for a back-driven four followed by a straight six. After a few anxious moments and a 51-run partnership, Raqibul was on his way after handing Sammy a simple catch in the slips off a jubilant Samuels.
Sipper Mushfiqur Rahim and Tamim played out the day safely. With the score on 164 for 3 and a day left, Bangladesh still need 344 runs – a daunting task.
Summarised Scores:
Bangladesh 164/3 (Tamim 82*) and 231 all out (Shakib 73, Fidel Edwards 5/63) trail West Indies 355 all out (Kirk Edwards 121, Kieran Powell 72; Shakib al Hasan 5/63 Nasir Hossain 3/52) and 383/3 (Darren Bravo 195, Kirk Edwards 86; Shuvo 3/73) by 344 runs with 7 wickets remaining in second innings
